Yeah, I know I don’t fit the standard profile of a “South Park” viewer: I’m not 15-25, or male. But I do love to watch South Park, as does T.A. , although I think Mr. Hankie as a concept was really funny, and T. A. was completely grossed out by it, the wuss. (But then, [...]

It was an absolutely awful, miserable day today weatherwise. Cold, wind-blown rain, driving at times, and a solid lid of clouds over the Valley.
